Thanks Chris!

If anyone thinks they can do better on the processing, by all means!

Good attempt. You should try for longer exposures if you can, to bring out more than just the brightest stars.

How are you stacking and processing?

Thanks Mike.

Yeah just in the process of getting PHD guiding sorted, then I can go for the longer subs.

Stacked in DSS and minimal processing in PS CS3.
